We've been teaching digital music production for 14 years, long before most other schools even understood the concept. That's why we're the leading digital production school in the Midwest.

+ Full Course Description
In this course, you will achieve the kind of creative control that allows you to leverage technology for purposes of making an amazing piece of music. Not just another track, but something you can publish, distribute, and sell.
We like to hit the ground running, so the first day of class starts off with a full blown demonstration of how to build an amazing track from beginning to end by our expert instructors.
Every day of class is a total blast, as students get to create and build musical tracks using all kinds of different tools. The objective is to get every student immersed in the process so they become comfortable and creative.
This is done through a series of hands-on training exercises and interactive lectures. Students are broken down into teams for most of the course so they can spend more time rolling up their sleeves and getting to work.
We work with all the latest hardware and software including analog and digital synthesizers, MIDI controllers, samplers, and other workstation components in a professional studio environment.
Expert instructors show you all the tips and tricks for making your project studio or laptop rig crank out music that will make you proud.
This course will show you how to set up, configure, and operate you own rig in a studio, laptop, or wherever you happen to work. You will learn how to sequence beats and tracks, sample sounds, use hardware and software synths, remix tracks, and use digital instruments.
This fun and informative course will open the door to a whole new world of producing your own music. By the time this course is over you will be able to create quality music and beats using your laptop or home studio.

Just like the Recording and Mixing course talks about controlling your sound, the Digital Music Production course talks about controlling your music.
Because technology has finally caught up with imagination, we can teach you how to turn your creative vision into a reality.
Those who posess these skills will have more work, more opportunity, more revenue, and of course, more music.
Nothing is too crazy when it comes to making the music you love. We just need to show you how to get it done and then turn you loose on the canvas.
Getting trained doesn’t mean you have to work alone. It just means you gain the right skills, so you can choose how it gets done.
